Hi, Gentleman’s, ))) A few months ago I bough a Rolex OYSTERQUARTZ 17000 (year 1994) perfect condition. It was immediately sent at Rolex FRANCE for a complete service and to have a minimum of documents.

Here are some photos))

The bracelet’s massif, perfectly well the wrist, broad towards the case and narrow towards the clasp, which allows a pleasant freedom of movement of the hand. And I like the design so much!

Details of the bracelet

Surprisingly, the serial number of clasp H correspond to the year 1983 (can be left in stock afterward 11 years? …)

Case number’s details of model 17000 at 3:00, number of model of bracelet 17000B

STAINLESS STEEL at 5h

REGISTERED DESIGN at 7h

[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3338/3269557599_afc01b1177_o.jpg

Serie’s number S280391 (1994 year) at 11h

Crown’s details

Dial

Caliber 5035

Glass

The glass had been changed, you can see the letter S (SERVICED) inside the laser graved crown

Somme photos in the dark for see the difference between OYSTERQUARTZ and SUBMARINER DATE

In conclusion I can say that the watch is extraordinary, by his comfort and originality of the design, with dimensions and the dial of the Eighties. Considering, that the bracelets are still available on order (250 euros average), a new one had been ordered at WEMPE Madeleine Paris.

If someone has some information about caliber 5035 it will be great to share it ))

Best regards

WatchTimes · 13 February 2009, 04:58 AM

Nice!!!

Wolfgang427 · 13 February 2009, 05:03 AM

Beautiful Oyster-Quartz, enjoy it

However your clasp is not original and is incorrect for a 17000 bracelet, yours came from a 78360 bracelet.

zak98 · 13 February 2009, 05:15 AM

love it! thanks for great pics

Does it's ticking keep you awake at night? It's so loud!

GeoGio Greece · 13 February 2009, 06:45 AM

Excellent !! I love it. I also want a camera like yours. Please give details.

Spark · 13 February 2009, 06:49 AM

Thanks very much for this important precision, Wolfgang

I'll try to find more about this bracelet

Thanks, guys for yours congratulations

I use an old (3-4? years) Sony SyberShot 5.2 MB. With gasp to slip.
Mode auto everywhere, even the zoom. Only chose mode macro and switch off the flash. All the other modes are less detailed and it's difficult to find a correct focus.
I tried different kinds of cameras, but only this one is correct for price between 300 and 450 euros. My point of view, of course

TempoKing · 13 February 2009, 09:15 AM

AKIRA....you are hired as the official photographer...

Brunotheboxer · 13 February 2009, 09:20 AM

What a photographer you are.. Top notch.

Perdu · 13 February 2009, 09:27 AM

Wonderful watch. I never appreciated the OysterQuartz until I did some research and found out how unique it is.

mr_happy_ending · 13 February 2009, 10:28 AM

that is a great looking watch. I'm a little confused.... was the watch left new at the dealer for all of these years? and are you the first owner, or is it pre-loved? could you please tell us what you paid for it?

Also, does the second hand sweep like automatic movements or does it tick-tick like most quartz watches?

Thanks!

Lion · 13 February 2009, 10:50 AM

Enjoy your beautiful watch and wear it with pride, remember you are worth it!!!

Stratton · 13 February 2009, 01:28 PM

Stunning watch and pictures. Is the camera a Sony F707?

topcat30093 · 13 February 2009, 07:37 PM

Fantastic photos.
What is the accuracy like on the quartz?

Lol-x · 13 February 2009, 08:02 PM

Great photos, would be very nice in the Rolex Reference Library for this particular model Rolex Quartz

buz-lh · 13 February 2009, 08:28 PM

That's a very unique piece and as others have said, great photography.

Porsche · 13 February 2009, 10:16 PM

OMG, I don't know if I'm more impressed by the watch

or your photography!

Congrats Akira on your

taste AND your skills with a camera.

I know it's a little rude to ask... but we're all friends here

... I'd also be curious to know price?

cwru32 · 14 February 2009, 11:23 PM

Awsome photos and a awsome watch. I love the Oyster Quartz.

Subexplorer · 15 February 2009, 03:11 AM

Great watch!! Hope you enjoy it very much.
I got a similar one, and may be it would be of your interest to read a post I sent some time ago:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=63775

Ticking is surprisingly loud and characteritic, isn´t it?

I found the oysterquartz.net web page, a very comprehensive and interesting web site were to find info about this Rolex variant, including about its movement.

Thanks for sharing your new watch!!
Kind regards, Abel
